Hosea 4:2 in Context — Hosea 4
1 Écoutez la parole de l’Éternel, enfants d’Israël! Car l’Éternel a un procès avec les habitants du pays, Parce qu’il n’y a point de vérité, point de miséricorde, Point de connaissance de Dieu dans le pays.
2 Il n’y a que parjures et mensonges, Assassinats, vols et adultères; On use de violence, on commet meurtre sur meurtre.
3 C’est pourquoi le pays sera dans le deuil, Tous ceux qui l’habitent seront languissants, Et avec eux les bêtes des champs et les oiseaux du ciel; Même les poissons de la mer disparaîtront.
4 Mais que nul ne conteste, que nul ne se livre aux reproches; Car ton peuple est comme ceux qui disputent avec les sacrificateurs.
